- Mouseover

Tips:- Hold shift while clicking in the config GUI to select and configure multiple frames simultaneously.
- Use the mouse wheel to uncover overlapped windows in the config GUI.
- Setting the Hidden Alpha of the Minimap to 1% will allow quest and other tracking icons to remain visible while the Minimap is faded out.
- Kong supports multiple profiles via the command line. Type /Kong profile in-game for more info.
- Binding a key to the "Toggle UI Fading On/Off" entry under Kong Automatic UI Hider in the Blizzard Key Bindings menu will allow you to quickly display all hidden frames when needed.
